“I have
decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. (Life Quotes)
Thine hand
shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate
thee. ~ Psalm 21:8 (King James Version)
My Thoughts:
When we talk
less and listen closely to things that are published, we can gather lots of
information, including some negative things that are being said about us. Some
of the talk that is “heard through the grapevine,” comes from people who we
discover to be our enemies. That’s when we have to use our knowledge to
determine how we want to deal with those who hate us.
Hating those who hate us
is too great a burden to bear. But, we know we can’t ever turn our back to our
enemies. We have to watch and pray, and always be prepared to defend ourselves
with a sound and righteous plan. Our enemies are always plotting and looking
for ways to destroy us.
The enemy
doesn’t care how he or she destroys. Their only purpose is to win. They have no
remorse. They see their accomplishment as a victory. An enemy can’t be a
friend. That would be impossible.
